Christina Murphy, BACP

Christina Murphy is a counsellor with three years of practice and a BACP registration. She focuses on creating a trusting, non-judgemental space where people can begin to make changes that matter. Her work often starts with listening and helping people name the thoughts and feelings that feel stuck.

Christina uses relationship-based ways of working to question old beliefs and habits that no longer help. She draws on different therapy tools to help people spot patterns and try new responses. This can be about anxiety, stress, grief, low self-esteem, relationship or intimacy worries, or issues such as jealousy and attachment problems.

She talks plainly about change and its pace. Change can be quick or gradual, and she supports whatever feels realistic for the person in front of her. Sessions aim to help people be kinder to themselves and learn practical steps to cope better with everyday challenges like sleep problems, anger or career stress.

Christina also helps people coming through trauma, abuse, separation and caregiver strain. She works with feelings of abandonment, codependency, control issues and the impact of narcissistic relationships. The approach emphasises compassion and self‑acceptance alongside practical coping skills.

Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and sessions are carried out in English. People who want to begin can expect a calm, steady approach that focuses on what matters to them now and where they want to move next.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape how people connect and feel safe with others. Online work can help people notice attachment patterns and try different ways of relating in conversations about trust and closeness.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre and relies on acceptance and listening. In online sessions this means the counsellor mirrors concerns, asks gentle questions and follows the person’s pace to help them make sense of feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful cycles. It can be used online to try strategies for anxiety, sleep problems, low mood and difficult reactions to jealousy or control issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will discuss options with each person and decide together what fits best for their goals and preferences. That collaborative process starts in the first sessions and can change as needs shift.

Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can help fit work and family life by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins where needed, and making it easier to schedule sessions around commitments. It also means people can attend from different locations within the United Kingdom, provided practical arrangements suit both parties.
